We know there are other autistic and disabled people in ICE right now and they all need to be released because you know they are not getting proper medical care.

A mother and her 15 year old autistic son are reunited after nearly 50 days apart.
Emmanuel Garcia went missing, and rather than check missing person’s reports, Houston PD called ICE.
ICE sent him to the Office of Refugee Resettlement and his mom has been fighting to get him back ever since.

Watched the Fallout season 2 trailer and did a happy dance the entire time.
Some of my favorite actors are showing up this season too.
I don't even play video games and I love this show.

If you get to a trillion dollars you should have to start the game over from the beginning at a higher difficulty like your parents not owning a bunch of emerald mines or whatever idk that’s just a random example

Miss me with this instant forgiveness of Marjorie Taylor Greene. She’s no hero. She’s Christoph Waltz at the end of Inglorious Basterds.

Obama and Biden failed the dreamers, who should have just been naturalized out right. They benefited by looking compassionate to DACA recipients, while they deported millions of people and put kids in cages.
It was a tragedy that was ripe for exploitation by Trump.

“Trump actually being the one to now try and deport them is the biggest violation of this group, but the reason he can is because they were betrayed long before that.”
Then they came for the Dreamers
Immigrants brought here as children were told they wouldn’t be deported. Now, they’re being targeted anyway.

Recently did a rewatch of this and it is still fire. Hands down some of the best costumes. Only Gary Oldman could make you fall for some creepy dude who's a monster half the time.
On this day, 33 years ago, Bram Stoker’s Dracula was released in cinemas.
Starring #GaryOldman, #WinonaRyder, #KeanuReeves and #AnthonyHopkins it was an Oscar-winning, critically acclaimed success and one of the most revered #vampire movies ever.

I just watched a video of ICE kidnapping a non-verbal autistic man for not talking to them and I'm fucking weeping.
I've fucking had it. We told you. We warned everyone.
Like seriously how cruel do you have to be to believe immigrants are the problem!?!
Where the hell are the Dems ffs!

My blind disabled self was actually outside at dusk tonight trying to finish painting my headboard before my body collapsed and I actually did notice the pink sky. But I thought "oh another beautiful CO sunset" and I didn't even look up to see the Aurora borealis. Ugh why do I always miss it.

Cull the Democratic Party. Systematically chip away all the weak, corporate centrists and corrupt, gutless elected officials who refuse to fight and instead suck at the teat of the oligarchy.
November 10, 2025 at 8:02 PM
This.
Exactly. We need more fighters like Kat. Dems have to change and become the opposition party that we deserve.
This deal to reopen the government is fucking disgraceful.
Tens of millions will lose their healthcare. Trump will be emboldened.
This is exactly what’s wrong with Democratic Party leadership and why we need more people in Congress who will actually hold the line.

The most disgusting part of this pathetic display from jello-spine democrats is that a "deal" this weak could've been agreed to in under a week. So why even bother with the 40 days of pain? PRIMARY THEM NOW. CHUCK SCHUMER RESIGN.

Not gonna lie, I'm pissed that Dems are only focusing the shutdown on private insurance and not also fighting for restoration of SNAP and Medicaid to previous levels before the BBB.
The repubs aren't the only ones who don't care about the poor, disabled, elderly and children.

Buried in the Big Beautiful Bill were changes to food assistance that demanded “any future change be cost-neutral. Translation: no more benefit increases, even if food prices skyrocket.”
The result was “institutionalized hunger.”

Tales from the spectrum + chronicles of a blind gal:
Yesterday I had a docs appointment for a back doctor I've seen once before so I knew what campus it was on but couldn't remember the exact details. This happens all the time with my sight disability bc I can't place things in physical space very 🧵

This story broke my heart. I don't know how I would survive without my kids especially if one of them was in cancer treatment like his daughter is. His crime? Traffic tickets.
This is inhumane and has to stop.

We do not talk about how dangerous the tech oligarchs are to us. They want to rule the world and do it by tech that can turn any city, any state, any country, into another Gaza over night. And the politicians just handed it over.

If you do one thing today, read and share this link. It is the tech oligarchs’ plan to take over the government and build a post-democratic America, proven to be well underway.
To understand the tech bros, we must think like them—they view our democracy as an outdated system that must be replaced:

The number of times I've had to hold my nose to vote "blue no matter who" and these asshats are now screaming about Zohran!?! These centrist Dems are showing their entire asses right now.
The failure of the “blue no matter who” crowd to rally behind Mamdani really just lays the reality of that position bare, doesn’t it?

Border Patrol agent Gregory Lairmore is on the stand narrating surveillance video of the sammie toss.

Happy Halloween! It's been a rough year but I gave myself a treat today to celebrate; I had an appointment with a new rheumatologist that comes highly recommended for complex cases like mine.
Send good vibes for an actual diagnosis. I need out of this medical purgatory at least with my arthritis.
